Upgrade excellence

Kenwood Excelon speakers incorporate technical know-how and advanced materials to give your music the full, rich sound it deserves. These full-range speakers sport a diamond-array pattern etched into their woofers that increases the strength of the carbon-polypropylene cone for improved dynamic response and lower distortion. The butyl rubber surround resists weathering, providing reliable support that keeps your music playing, no matter what.

The KFC-X683C 6"x8" full-range speakers feature 1-3/16" balanced dome tweeters that deliver all the high-frequency details without sounding harsh. Because of their specially designed magnetic circuitry and neodymium magnets, these compact tweeters use less steel in their construction than most tweeters, so you hear more accurate response.

Why replace your car's original speakers?

The speakers that originally came in your car were made from inexpensive materials, designed to create acceptable sound at the lowest possible cost to the manufacturer. If you love music, you deserve better. Name-brand aftermarket speakers deliver fuller, richer sound with considerably more detail and nuance, and they're capable of playing louder and cleaner than factory speakers. Connect new speakers to your factory radio and you'll get the best possible sound from your dealer-equipped system. Pair them up with a new car stereo for a level of enjoyment that can rival a high-fidelity home audio experience.

Features

Woofers: The woofer cones are constructed of Carbon-PP
(polypropylene) with a diamond array pattern. The woofers feature butyl rubber
surrounds for a smoother response and improved durability.

Tweeters: Each speaker uses a 1-3/16" PEI balanced-dome
tweeter. PEI (Poly-Ether Imide) is a polymer film that has ideal sound
characteristics, making it perfect for use as a tweeter. A PEI balanced-dome
tweeter produces a wide soundstage for superior imaging.

Custom Fit: The 6x8" speaker's frame features two additional
mounting holes which allows the speaker to fit in 5x7" openings of select Ford
and Mazda vehicles.

Warranty Note: Although these speakers come with a 1-year
warranty card, they are covered by the Kenwood eXcelon 2-year warranty.

Kenwood KFC-X683C

Put these in a 2009 Ford F150 SuperCrew Truck. Stock Head Unit . Just replaced all 4 door speakers. These improved the sound beyond my expectations. Crisp, Clear, More Volume, The perfect choice. I could not be happier.

Kenwood Excelon KFC-X683C

Bought these for my 2013 Ford F150 STX Regular cab. Installed these in the rear of my truck and after installing them the sound changed dramatically. Sounded clearer and sharper. Just received my other pair and will be installing them in the front doors next,.

Kenwood Excelon KFC-X683C

I installed 4 of these in a 2012 For Escape. There is a nice update in sound clarity, but the bass doesnt keep up with the head unit Crutchfield recommended for me. I'll likely need a subwoofer to fill in the lows.

Nice upgrade

Simple swap in my 2012 F150 FX4 Super cab. Using factory head unit and no amp yet. I replaced all 4 speakers. Big difference between these and the stock speakers. Now very crisp and clear sound all around. Bass is cleaner and has more punch.

Nice

I inherited a 2000 Ford Contour Sport. The only way I was going to drive this car was with a new sound system. These speakers are powered by a Kenwood head unit, with no amp in between. I have them in the back doors with Kenwood 3-ways in the front. The sound they produce together is fantastic and way beyond the factory speakers that came in the car.

Great sound

I replaced all 4 factory speakers in my 98 F-250. The sound quality of these speakers surpass my wildest expectations. You can not go wrong with these speakers and I got the discount because I paired them with a kenwood receiver. I love the sound and Crutchfield is the best.

Good stuff!

I bought these beause I was so disappointed with the Kenwood KFC-C6865S "Sport Series" ones I bought originally. These KFC-X683C "eXcelon" are the real deal. Couldn't be happier with these in the front doors of a E350 Super Duty van w/OEM 6-speaker radio. I will be adding them in the back doors when time permits.

Pros:Clean sound over the entire spectrum. Clean highs, midrange, and more bass than I'd expected from speakers this size.

Cons:Trying to figure out 3 ohm wattage in a sea of 4 ohm wattage. Based on my calculation you're safe running a 45w@4ohm amp assuming it's 3 ohm stable.
I really think that while these do a good job on bass, but if you've ever had a sub before, I think you'll still want one. With these you hear the bass drum beats, but you don't feel them. Really not a bad trade off. Excellent all round speaker but lacks that thump at low volume. Subs do that better.

Great speaker

Great speaker & simple install. Highs are crisp and clear and it has a solid woofer to produce a balanced sound. These are in my front doors and I love them. Solid product, constructed very well, and are sure to last a long time. I don't have these amped, they're powered by a Pioneer AVH-P4400BH DVD Receiver

Very pleased

I am very pleased with these speakers. I installed them in my 2013 F150 super crew to replace factory speakers with the factory Ford sync system. At first I was a little skeptical when I was installing them but once they were installed and I took the first listen I was sold. The fit is perfect and install was easy. Now the sound, I consider myself to be picky and these speakers sound good to me. They are very well balanced I started with the EQ in the middle and the only adjustment I have done is to up the bass one notch. In all fairness I did leave the factory tweeters in the front pillars hooked up I like the sound stage to be a little high up and they seem to blend every well. Also I have a sound ordnance self contained sub but I had to turn it way down other wise the bass was to heavy.

WOW!

Just installed these in my 2013 mustang, in the rear deck! Man o man these babys rock. I listen to all music genres, and they vibrate the seat! Huge improvement over factory! Great bass with out the factory speaker distortion! They sounded great as soon as I plugged them in, no speaker break in required!

Sounds Great!

So after much debate between different speakers I went with the Kenwood Excelon 2-ways. Went to the local electronics store and to my surprise the kenwoods sounded much better than the rest. The Alpine type S, Infinity reference and Polk 6x8's sounded flat and not nearly as full as the Kenwoods. Was sold and like always Crutchfield included the printed instruction sheet on installation and factory speaker connectors. Also the fit was perfect in a 2006 Ford Ranger with Alpine receiver and power pack...sound is great!

Pros:Nice full sound, great highs and mids along with a good bass presence

Kenwood Excelon KFC-X683C

Written By rob, Fort Collins, CO on Friday, July 02, 2010

I installed these in the front doors of my 2007 Ford Freestyle. I was blown away by the difference I noticed immediately. I am running them from the factory head unit and they still sound great and have a nice kick.

After installing these I went and purchased a pair for the rear doors because the factory speakers can't even keep up with these Kenwoods.

Great speakers

These speakers really upped the sound quality in my 2008 Ford Taurus X. I installed them in the front and rear doors and they are a noticable upgrade over the factory set. I am running them with the Kenwood DNX-9140 head unit. The build quality seems to be pretty good. I also installed some speaker baffles to help protect them and enhance the sound. Overall I am extremely satisfied with these speakers.
